BEN BUDGE ROYAL ACADEMY. (Continued.) 42. POrtrait of her late Royal Highness Princess Charlotte, G. DA WE, R. A. 78. Portrait Of his Royal Lliglixe.ss Prince Leopold of So.rc , Cohourg, G. DAWE, It. A. NVe notice these Portraits with peculiar interest, as ad. mirable in point of professional excellence, and in fidelity of resemblance, but chiefly from the reflections which they must necessarily raise in the mind on the transitory nature of all earthly enjoyments. This Illustrious Pair were on the pin nacle of human happiness, but that happiness terminated in a moment, and plunged tht. surviving party into the depths of sorrow. The portraits are a pair of superb pictures, and if Mr. DAWE had only produced these works, he would have had a right to stand in the first rank with his contemporaries. 142. Landscape: a Study. J. CONSTABLE. There is the same vivid spirit in this picture as in others which we have previously noticed from the same Artist. lie seems to have a peculiar felicity i❑ representing trees and shrubbery, but without elaborate minuteness. We are not, however, fond of what is stiled a .stadly, or a comprmition, in the province of landscape. Perhaps we judge fastidiously, but we certainly prefer truth on all occasions, and therefore should rather have admired some scene of local nature, to which we are sure that the Artist would have given an inte resting aspect. It is different in works connected with poetic fable, or historical record, and in these the Artist, by exer cising his own imagination, may forcibly operate on the ima gination and passions of the spectator. The picture is pleas ing, but perhaps there is a redundancy of foliage. 285. A Press Gang. NV. ALLAN. We question the propriety of representing such scenes as the present, unless, indeed, they are intended to produce feelings of Conipaslibh and kindness in the conduct of those who are obliged to discharge an irksome but necessary duty. The welfare of the State is the chief object, and therefore it is not discreet to raise a prejudice against those who are engaged in measures in which the safety and honour of a countryare essentially concerned. Such is the case of PRESSING, a subject that has often occupied the attention of alrde Poli ticians, and which, after all, - must be resolved into a mea: sure of Stale necessity. The general distress of the fatally, arising from the seizure of one of its members, as well as the strong interest manifested by the friends and neighbours of the party, are represented with skill, feeling, and observa tion of life. The start of the Commanding Officer is, how ever, too theatrical, but the face well expresses benevolent sympathy and solicitude. (To he continued ) SPORTING IN ELLIGENCE.

GRAND FRACAS. THEATRE riIAISTgALS.—A consitleraWc distur bance prevailed. at the French Theatre in Ber- Wick-street, last night. A gentleman having de tected afellow i n th e act o f p i c ki ng h i s pocket, knocked him down. The_,fellow arose, and, stripping, denied the charge, at the same time challenging the gentleman to fight, whilst his associate engaged with another gent !email. 4:un •fused cries of " a to porte,"-----" chuck bit otc," French and half English, exc. succeeded, and both ladies and gentlemen jumped neck or 'milling into the pit. The difficulty now was to get the ladies npon the stage, as there Was a general struggle to gain the pit dorm.. The ladies at length reached the stage, but some were a little unit, owing to rite spikes on the top of the partition,,yeliich en closes the orchestra. Meanwhile the rascal was secured, and his accomplice kicked down stairs. After some time lost in regaining seats, the per formance was resumed in the second act,. for the first was interrupted in the middle. Scarcely, however, had the perforniers passed through one scene, when a new alarm arose ; tor, on the stidden arrival of .constables, the people in the boxes began a second flight. Many hats and bon nets fell off, and Were trainpled under toot. At length the Manager tame forward, and assured the public that there was nothing to fear. So much time was occupied by these interruptions ; that it was impossible to perform• the last piece -The first piece, " Le'Peintre et Comedien," is much the same as. rice `-`4clor of all 11 7 0rk," and was well calculated to show the versatility of talent M. SAINT FELIX possesses, a 8 he was 10 play seven different parts in it, and we could not but regret the unseasonable interruptions which prevented the continuation of this amusing comedy. The second piece, "Les Ricnux d'eu.r filmes," is also the popular farce of the " flee Hive," in French, and-was admirably sustained by M. SAINT FELIX, Mlles. JULIE and FCLICIE . 'We are very sort) , that his professional duties oblige M. SAINT FELIX to leave town, as he is a very valuable acquisition to this excellent company. DISGRACEFUL RIOT. The neighbourhood of Cow-cross and Turn mill-street was a scene of confusion and up roar from about six o'clock on Sunday after noon till midnight, in consequence of a. quar rel between the low Irish of Cow-cross and' Tornmill-street, and the Monster Irish of St. Giles's; the parties met at the Castle, in Cow cross, where after drinking until they were in toxicated, they commenced the battle; the house being too small to contain the numbers, they went into the street, aftned with bludgeons, tongs, fire shovels, pokers, and other weapons ; they set to, and in a few minutes their numbers increased to about two hundred persons=st he whole neighbour hood was thrown into the greatest alarm, and several persons who happened to pass on their own business were knocked down and trampled upon ; in less than a quarter of an hour there Was upwards of 100 men and women with broken heads, bloody noses, black eyes, and otherwise wounded, and so me lyi ng apparently dead in the streets. T. Thompson, a very active constable, lost no time in mustering constables, patroles, and watchmen, to the number of about 30, who came armed with cutlasses ; and in striving to disperse the mob and secure the ringleaders, a most desperate attack commenced on both sides. George Turner, a patrole, was severely beaten, and was carried off in a dangerous state ; Charles Turner, his brother, was likewise dreadfully beaten ; Eames, a constable, had his arm broke from the blow of a heavy bludgeon ; Davison, a constable, was dreadfully beaten and trampled upon in the kennel ; the beadle, re ceived many blows ; at length, about ten o'clock, the civil power having gained the assistance of the police and constables, and watchmen from the neighbouring parishes, the assailants were over come and put to the rout; the following 13 of the most active of them taken in custody, viz. Thos. Brown, John Carr, John King, M. Walsh, Step. .Collins, J. Holland, P. Dvrell, Patrick Martin, Daniel Cunnigart, John Griffith, Thomas Mor gan, Thomas Flit), and Patrick M'Carty, who, with much difficulty, were lodged in the watch house, which was obliged to be guarded all night, to prevent the mob from tearing it down. They were conducted handcuffed, wid well .guarded yesterday, before the Magistrates at'''•Hatton 'Garden Office for examination, and the crowd o f me n a n d women who followed them to the Office exceeded 1000 persons, by which the Office and street were crowded to an excess never wit nessed before. Amongst the crowd were up wards of forty men and women with black eyes, some with their arms iu slings, and others with their heads bound up and bleeding. Tht prisoners being put to the bar, the constables preferred their charges„ and exhibited the dreadful marks of the blows they received. The chati..t.es being m a d e out, ehe prisoners were all committed to prison, until they procured good bail to answer at the Sessions.

Lord Viscount StbmouTn gave notice of his in tention to move the second reading of the Alien Bill on Wednesday, for which day the Lords were ordered !r) he summotied. Lord tioLtAtib intimated his intention of op. posing the Bill, nEGENE:I+ AMENDMENT BILL. The House resid itseft into a Committee upon the Regency 21mendment Bill, the atti of Ski A FTESBH RY Chair. The [401i13 CHANCELLOR stated, thatit apear ing to be the opinion of their Lordships' that the: additional Members of the Qacen's Council Amnia he nominated by Parliament, as in the Regency Act, he had piliared Amendments for the nth pose of framing the first Clause in that view, giving, as in the ,liegency Act, the power to the Queen of tilling up any vacancy that Might °cow by an intrument under her Majesty's hand and seal,—llis Lordship proposed that font. additional Members of the Queen's Council should be thUs appointed in the Bill, namely-- - - GeoacE, Earl of Macclesfichi, WlLLtam, Lord Bishop of Loudon; ALEYN, Lord St. Ifelvo's, MotrrtiN, Lord Henley, of Ireland: The insertion of thesd names was agreed to, as also the different Amendments proposed by the. Lord Chancellor in this Clause.—On the second Clause, Lord IloteAND observed, that the only reason which had been alleged forthis Clause, namely, the inconvenience that would result front the operation of the provision of the Regency Act, W a s of that nature, that instead of shewittg thy- necessity for this partial measure; it went to prose the expethency of an entire recision of the Re gency Act. Upon the former occasions they were called upon to legislate with a view th the probable recovery of the Icing, in which view die provisions of the Regency Act were worded. If they were now to be called upon to alter those provisions, which could only be updn the ground of the probability of the King's recovery having ceased, and there being only the possibility re maining, it was not, he contended, in any respect satisfactory, that that alteration should, he confined to the provision now in ques tion. It was clearly the intention of Par liament, in enacting that in the event of the demise of the Queen the Parliament should im mediately assemble, that the care of the King's person was a trust of that sacred and impotrarit nature ) that such an event called for the immediate attention of the Legislature. If, however, that trust had now become of a less important nature from the less probability of the King's recovery, and therefore it was thought by the framers of this Bill that it would be inconvenient, tinder cer tain circomstanees, the attention of Parliament should be called to it, at any rate this fact ought to be ascertained by previous inquiry, and then It might be a ground not for this partial measure, but for a general revision of the Regency Act. '!'he Windsor Establishm e n t , f o r i nstance, it would be of importance to revise. When this establish ment was proposed, it was urged by those who supported ft, that it'was of the utmost importance in every view of feeling towards the unhaepy at ion of the king, that on his recovery his Ma jesty might see the same faces around kill) to which he had been accustritned previous to his malady. Noss', however, when by bringing for ward this measure it was acknowledged that no probability of his Majesty's recovery reinained, it was surely of the greatest Importance, coosidering., the distress of the country, and the burdens that weighed upon the people, that some reduction should take place in the enormous expence of thit establishment. Considering ) theretOre, that no reason had been urged for this clause, which did not operate still more forcibly for a more extenss sive revision of the Regency Act, and that tot. that purpose the requisite previwis inquiry had not been Made, nor was any infortnatioti afforded as to the :rental slate Of the King, he should there+ fore feel it his Miry to oppose the. clause. 'Tie Earl of Llvei;pooh denied that thrs Meas. sur e was bronght forward upon the ground 'of their being no probability of the King's recovery : on the contrary, he should regret to see any legis lation take place upon the ground of their being no such probability, They, of course, Must le gislate with u view to 'the greater or less proba bility of recovery, and this was the case wiih re gard to the Act passed after the restrictions upon the Regency had ceased, which went upon the ground of the less proba bdity of his Majesty's recovery. As to there being no information at . .. forded respectiug the state of the King, the fact was, that the Quarterly Reports front the Queen's Council to the Privy Council gave every informa tion that could be required respectin g his Majesty ' s state of health. With regard to tire question ag to the meeting of Parliament, in the event of the demise of the Queen, every practical purpose would he answered by a Clause, - which his Noble and Learned Friend intended to propose, for the pun- , pose of linilting the period within which Par-
